Me again, I've had such an inspiring day selling my work and buying vintage treasure and coming home to look at this is...... just wow!I have a pile of beautiful magazines just calling out for being cut and folded into these.....

One year we hang a bunch of them from the ceiling in K's room. They stayed there for several years...every so often one would fall eventually there were only two and I decided maybe I should get a ladder down and remove them as well as the thumb tacks and extra string. :)

Nope - not an immaculate housekeeper - especially in the girls' rooms.

Simply, I don't know what to say... So many ideas and I'm going to try it by my own! If you have time, please visit my blog, it's new, but I'd be happy to hear what you think about my work.Thanks for inspiring me. Hanuszka from Poland

I use my regular craft scissors (the make is Craft Smart and I purchased them at Michael's a couple of years ago) to make the snowflakes. I like these scissors. They are medium-sized, have a relatively fine point, they seem to be lasting fairly well and keeping their sharpness. I'm by no means a scissors expert, however. For expert product advice maybe check with Jenny at http://www.crafttestdummies.com/

These are absolutely beautiful!! Now that it's January I'm wishing I'd saved a few of those bajillion catalogs I got last month!! I might try it anyway. It will most likely be the only snowflakes we'll see in Alabama!!

Hi Michele, I just made a ton of these and stuck them on my wall. BTW, I used tiny bits of blue tack to stick them on. I put them on the wall, put a thick card on top and rub over it, makes it much easier to stick all the tiny and delicate edges.

I have just discovered your blog and, like others, love these snowflakes! While I don't get a lot of junk mail, a thought just ran thru my mind - use old Christmas wrapping paper! I'm one of those that saves the paper from around a gift because I just KNOW I'll find a use for it! Which, of course, I haven't until now!!!! Someone else may have mentioned this - I didn't go thru all the comments - so, just in case...... lolPlus, recycling the old wrapping paper keeps it out of the landfill!!!! Thanks so much for your posts on making them and ideas of where to put them!
